A statue of a young woman resting on a rock. She wears Edwardian dress and has a single rose pinned to her bosom. There are two dogs at her side, the larger one looks up at her, its paw resting on her knee. The monument commemorates Annie, Lady Jerningham, daughter of Edward Liddell of Benton Park, Newcastle. She was first married to Charles Mather of Longridge Towers, Berwick, who at his death left her a modest fortune and Longridge Towers. She then married diplomat Sir Hubert Jerningham. The statue sits on a tapering rusticated base. It was designed by Sir Hubert Jerningham with the help of sculptor Walter Rowlands Ingram, and presented to Berwick. Ingram died before being able to realise the sculpture and the carving was carried out by Pennacchini (the spelling on the inscription appears to be incorrect) in Ealing, West London.
